Some of Cobbett's friend:next delated, that they had attended Cobbett in his canvass, and never heardhim use the words.—Here the up roar became deafening—shouting, hissing, hooting, squabbling; in . the midst of which, Mr. %vet, Captain•Barrie'a advocate, made a long legal speech, showing that the Mayor ought not to depart from the mode of polling by tallies, which was the usual custom of the borough, and which had been agreed to by ell: the Candidatte. Mr. Cohbett's departure from that made was an unworthy trick, an unfair ad vantage, a paltry stratagem, a foul breach of faith, a violation of every gentlemanly feeling, against honour, compact, and custom.

Mr. Mee trusted the Mayor would not accede to Mr. Cob. bett'4o protest, but adhere to the mode of setting (by tallies) which had been adopted on Friday and Saturday. The MAYOR—It appears, that since Mr. Cohbett was behind on the poll on Saturday evening, he has spent Sunday in fabricat ing these charges and complaints ; but I defy him, I dare him to make a charge against me in any Court in the kingdom ; I dare him to accuse me before the Houie of Commons. There are !Nisi gentlemen, I repeat—geetlemen around me—whose testi .Vnoby will bear ma out triumphant. against his charges. The de-. )14`y that has occurred ,hitherto has been caused by Mr. Cobbett mid his friends. He entered into a solemn compact ;he now Avidies to break it ; let hint do it—he can do it—the law allows it—but Ido not envy him his feelings if he will break it. My duty, according to law is, to take the votes as they coins. This will make the polling still slower, for every one of Mr. Cobhett's voters will be subjected toe stricter examination by his opponents. The consequerwe will be, that, I shan't he able to poll all the Elec.- . tors in fifteen days. 'io that yon, Mr. Cohbett, are defeating your own wishes. I warn you of it—you think to effect your object by rminuatviing, but your opponents con noinueuvre as well as you. They have out-manomeered you already, and they will defeat this maruent-re of your's too, I predict that they will. I shall accede to your request ; the voters shall not he polled by tallies.

If I cannot effect a fair polling without the military, I will have them.

'the mob instantly Impended their attack on the inn'; the DragoOns paraded in front of it; the constables returned to the street, searched through the crowd, arrested six men and one woman, and, protected by the Dragoons, lodged them in the gaol, Mr. Wool, harangued the crowd out, of the window of his hotel; Mt.

'they ash he had left the hustings, and 'would never return to ; but that was faloe— he would be there when they would be inflamed to show their faces. The Mayor ithrmld poll the P eople, and if he did, they would mend him (Mr. C.) to Parliament. The multitude, amounting to about ten thousand persons, gave three eheera, and quietly dispersed. A party of the Foot Guards marched into the town to-day (Tuesday.) At the opening of the poll this Morning Mr. Cohbett preseuted a fifth protest, tamtplaining that by the present rate of voting the majority of electors would remain unpolled et the end of the littetti days. ife complained also of the bringing in of the troops. The Mayon. denied that he had sent for them. The AfAYOR stated, that he had heard Mr. Wm. Cobbett, jun. had reported that be (the Mayor) had called Captain Barry, " Bob' Barrie, the dog-fighter." He took that opportunity of stating, that he ne ver " Used such words of Captain Barrie. Cohbett's eon (William) came forward and asserted that the Mayor did, in a conversation with him, actually use the words Bob Barrie, the noted dog-fighter." The Mama: solemnly declared he never uttered that language; he never said the word ." Bob." What he said of Captain Barrie was Captain Barrie, so well.knoWn in the Navy for his bullAog fighters," meaning sailors. The hustings presented, this morning, a scene of uproar, con fusion, and altercation, similar to that of yesterday. It was re ported that Cobbett would not appear on the hustings after this morning, but his friends have since contradicted the report. His chance of success is growing weaker every day. As-to the charge of partiality against the Mayor, 'tie allam►onshine,! the opposing candidates are the persons who are really keeping. Cobbett out; by splitting their votes with each other; three men of their's (one for each candidate) being polled - for One man of Cohbett's, it follows naturally that Cobbett must inevitably be thrown nut. He is de termined, notwithstanding, to keep polling to the last day. • TuEso A Y EVENING.--It is reported that Cobbett has diseo- vered his prospects here to be quite hopeless, and has left, the town and the electors of Preston to Stanley and corruption. In short, he has bolted. SURREY.—•(SECohn DAY—WEDNESDAY.) The poll was opened this morning at nine o'clock, and the voters continued to arrive with great rapidity. The votes for Mr. PaUmer soon became so numerous that he gained a decided advantage over Mr. Sumner. M, however, most of the free holders who voted "for him voted also for Mr. Denison, that gen tleman kept at the head of the poll up to 12 o'clock, at which hour the numbers were— Mr. Denison Mr. Pallmer 550 I Mr. Sumner 548 - - 480 In the course of the hoar between 11 and 12 o'clock it was said that Mr. Pallrner polled 187 votes. The numbers at two o'clock were-- Mr. PsHiner Mr. Denison 611 I Mr. Sumner 606 - 593 In the mean time the bu s tl e , common at elections prevailed. The rabble were laudably drunk at a very early hour ; but as in the town of Guildford they had not their usual advantage of num bers (the decent people forming decidedly the majority), they did not cut a very great figure. Their operations were. principally directed against Mr. Sumner and his friends, whom they abused unsparingly. From two o'clock until five the poll went on slowly ; and at the latter hour, the Sheriff having adjourned to the Court-house, the number of votes was announced to be as follows Mr. Denison Mr. Fullmer Mr. Sumner The Rev. Mr. %am then l'Oße for the purpose of putting's few questions to one of the candidates. Mr. Pallmer h ad issued a bill, stating that he was a friend to the Protestant religion; hut every man must have a bias, and before the electors placed in his hands a power which they could not recall, he thought they ought to know whether Mr. Pannier was a friend to making any further concessions to the Catholics. Mr. PA Lcstra said he rejoiced in this opportunity of answering the questions of the Reverend elector in as manly a manner as he desired. First, with► regard to the Catholic question, though he believed the Rev. Gentleman would be punkd to any what that exactly was—.(great tumult)—he meant only that it was difficult fur any, man to say in what shape the Catholic question might appear. lie therefore should reserve his opinion, and he refused now, as he bawl done before, to give a.pledge.—(Clwers.) The Rev. Huutt then presented himself amidst great tumult. It was said that if we ceased to persecute the Catholics, they would cease to adhere to a falling cause. But there was a great difference between excluding from privileges such as British subjects commonly enjoyed, persons who professed a divided al legiance and persecuting those persons. The great noise which prevailed prevented the conclusion of the Hun. Gentleman's speech from being beard. Mr. Draitsox said, that his promise of yesterday had proved prophetic : his MUM! (1111 stand, as he had said it would, at the top of the poll. In the anticipation of returning them his thanks to-morrow, he bid them good night, and (it?il bless them.— (Loud Applause.) i'/.l.L.Strit said, that the Catholic question, of which they hoard so much, would, he believed, ucver give hint DO much difficulty ao h e now felt in returning thanks for the favour they heti dime hint in placing hint us 'they had on this day's poll. Mr. H. Sex"ma then tot" hut the drea,drul tumult which prevailed, • rendered it impossible fOr him to be heard for some time. Before he thanked them for the votes they had given him, he thanked .the meeting generally -tire the hearing they had given him. It' he should be at the heed of the poll, he should regret no less than tinder any other eireunistaiwes that they hid withheld faint any man a patient hearing. He thanked them again, and wished them all good night ; and the meeting then adjourned till, to-Morrow. • • COUNTY OF ESSEX. - Yesterday was the day appointed for the election of Members of Parliament for the county of Essex. At an early hour Chelms ford wore that gay and lively appearance which the county town usually assumes on these occasions, • - The utmost good humour prevailed, as it .Was understood that no, intention existed of contesting the County; though placards had been issued for several days, calling on the freeholders to in vite T. G. Brameton, Esq., a highly resliectable gentleman of the blue, or court party, to become their Representative. The partisans having ranged themselves on each wide, and all - the necessary forms having been complied with, and proclamation Made, the huoinese of the day. was commenced. Sir G. 11. Smits% said, the pleasing task devolved upon him to propose the. re-election of their faithful friend, - Admiral Sir Eliab Harvey,. as 'one of the Representatives of the County in Parlia ment. (Applause.) • 51r. LoeKwooo seconded the nomination. Sir T. J 3. MA:mm(4 said, without further preface, he would propose Charles Celli' Western, Esq., as a fit and proper person to represent the County of Essex in Parliament. (Applause.) Mr. J. DisHEY said, it had. fallen td his lot, before thet day, to' address the Freeholders of Essex, but he never recollected any oc casion On which be felt himself so highly honoured:as the • present. To be the seconder of a gentleman like Mr. Western, as the Repre sentative of a County like Essex, was a distinction h, w hi c h t i m men could aspire. (Applause). lie was the friend of th e L i t mus _ ing poor—of the agricultural occupier —of the wretched On all those (location., his (Mr. Dianey's) heartund hand went with him; and he seconded his nomination with feelings which he could not express.—(Applause.) Sir ELIAS HARVEY then presented himself, , and was received wish considerable applause, lle began by referring to his con duct since he had been their representative, awa proof that whet c~ yr he had professed he bad endeavoured to perform. Having connnented upon the Corn laws, he remarked, that however iMpOrtant that question might be to the Agricultural interest, there was one other question at. least equal to it, he alluded to the Catholic Question. He would state his reasons for his oppo.. iitinn to these claiMs. He felt that there was great danger in tampering with established institutions. They would,' perhaps, better understand what he meant by some lines that roust have been familiar to them all in- their childhood " Hominy Dumpty sat on a Iva, Ilumpty Thimpty had a great fall, Not all the king's horses, nor all the Kittle men, Can set Ilumpty Dumpty up again.".—(Laughter and applause.) The reflections of his mind every day more satisfied him, that he was correct in his conclusione with regard to this lineation.— '(" What do you say as to Slavery, Admiral?" from several voices in the milltitude.).L.NO man wan a greater enemy to Slavery thrift himself, hut he thought , due time should be given, and cousidera tint, had to the distressing condition of the planters.--[While the Gallant. Admiral was speaking, he was interrupted by calls to speak louder. In limier to one of theae calls, he declared, that if he had a voice strong enough, it ahould ring in their ears like the Great Bell of Boui.l Mr. Buacu Wan' ram appeared on the part of his relative, to 'tate how mu c h he regretted that indispoilition had prevented him attending that day on the hustings. Mr. 'Western's health was rapidly improVing, and he (Mr. Burch Western) could assure them that, long hettire his services would be reipiired in Parlia ment, he would be ready to give them. If lie were again returned to Parliament, they would find Miff the firm supporter of those prin cipleswhich .hed at tiro recornmended him ta their notice.— (Applause.) Thu Urinsit-Stitatter . was then about to put the tpicetion, when a generalcall wacraieeti from the multitude for the nomi nation of Mr. Brainston. .After it had continued for some time, tions, and addressed the f ree h oldera in a short speech. Mr. Bitaaisme stepp e d f orward amidst very general acclaim- Mr. Ilaiimarr said he kneW he was but an humble individual, and t herefore would not venture to - propo se Ai r . B reme t o n, but he wished some prison of greeter weight to step forward for that purpose, as he knew the general feeling of the county was in his favour. Mr., PETER WRIGHT presented himself, but could not, for mottle time, obtain a hearing. He said, he trusted he should have what every freeholder was entitled to—a fair hearing ; and Ap pealed to the Sheriff, whose duty it was to keep silence. Mr. W. MAsiix, the Under-SliCriff, said, it was the parti- Cular wish of the Sheriff that Mr. Wright should be patiently heard. Mr. WatonT proceeded—,He .01 sorry that any objection should be Made to what be was about to say; sure he was, that h e had never, on any public oecasion, addressed the county in such a way as to call for the unfair attack that haft been made upon him.—(Disapprobation.)-:—Ile again appealed to the Sheriff to keep silence. The SIIERItT assured him that it was utterly impossible to pre vent tke public from manifesting their feelings. Mr. WRIGHT—Sir, it is your duty to take them into custody —(Great uproar.) SHERIFF_What power have 1, sir, to do OP you wish me ? Mr. Witionr said, he was sure they were not freeholders who made the noise. He had only a few words to say, and if they would hear them, he would be as short as possible. When he rose to address them it was not with a view to Create dissension, hut to express the high gratification he hoped some day to feel in seeing Mr. Brameton placed in Parliament as one of their Repre sentatives. He thanked them for the patience with which they had heard him. Sir G. H. SMYTH said, that as at present Mr. Braniston was not a candidate, he trusted the Sheriff would be allowed to go on with the business of the day. After a few observations from Sir John Tyre!), at whose sug -gestion three cheers were given for Sir Eliab Harvey, and three others for Mr. Bramaton ; a show of hands was taken with respect to the, two candidates, Sir Eliab Harvey and Mr. Western. A large majority appeared in favour of both. The SHICRIFF then declared them both duly elected, after which three chem were given - for Mr. Western. Sir ELIAR Haavair returned thanks for his re-election. Three cheers were then again given for SiiEliabll;;;ey. Mr. flaxen WEsrear. returned thanks, in his relatives name, and said he would take a speedy opportunity of doing so himself in peg eon. Three cheers were then again given for Mr. Western. Mr. Punt WRIGHT moved the thanks of the Meeting to the High Sheriff, for his impartial conduct in the Chair. The motion Ives carried by acclamation, with three times three cheers. Sir ELIA Ft Ihavvr begged to inform his friends before they separated, that roast beef and plum puddings were provided for them a11. 7 --(Great applaime.)—Th e High Sheriff, the. Members, and their friends then withdrew from the hustings, and the' free holders dispersed. _ In about half an hour afterwards the ceremony of chairing was performed, in which Mr. Burch Western acted as proxy for his relative. CAMBRIDGE, WEDNESDAY AIORNING. The sohninistration of the bribery oath, and the uproar to which it last night gave rise, have produced an astonishing sensation in this town, especially as it is known to have been levelled against those non-residents who, it was supposed / would, us usual, stipu late for their expellees. A cry of " Scandalous, shameful, disgraceful,. the oath ought never to have been tendered," burst from all parts of the hall. The Chancellor quitted his seat and walked away. Business was suspended. One gentleman, got upon the table and addressed the Members, and, as far as could be ascertained amidst the uproar, he was understood, that he never had felt himself insulted till that day. The proposers of the oath ought to be ashamed of them selves. They bad insulted the Universities in the most gross manner. It was treating them worse than if they were members of the most corrupt borough in the kingdom, for even in such a place no one would think of proposing the oath indiscriminately. This address was received with thunders of applause,. on the sub siding of which, other members expressed themselves to the same effect. At: last a general cry arose for the resumption of business, to which the Vice-Chancellor yielded, and having again taken hip, seat at the table, numerous votes were tendered. and received, without any further mention of the Bribery Oath. At • At eight o'clock this morning the polling. recommenced, with the same formalities as before, with the exception that. the Bri bery Oath was no longer requited. The business, however, pro ceeded very languid for the first few hours.

Paltnereten • 3931 241 It is thought Goulburn's stock of yews is nearly exhausted.— At the beginning of the business two of the electors called upon the Vice-Chancellor to see , the bribery' oath administered. This they were entitled to call for according to the Act of Parliament, but it created a great deal of indignation, and ninny who were re quired did so under strong protestations of insult. Some of the 111111. resident voters also, on the other bend, said, if this '•was insisted on from them, it ought to be exacted front the - residents, and accordingly it was fin• some time taken by both ;, bits in the even ing so much was said about it, that the two who insisted where obliged to abandon their point .and retire. I rather• suspect these gentlemen (who are said tube two young lawyers, though their names are not known as such, viz. Brand and Paynter), thought that it was bribery to have the expeneee of travelling paid. I believe it has been determined by. the House that Lona fide conveyance may be atibrded at the expence of the Candidate, and this was their mistake. Probably this business w ill b e a goo d de a l exaggerated in these times of dearth of news, but this was about the trite hearing. . . . At the close of the poll the numbers werefoe---.

The two lenders of the Government interest, now that Mr. Don de' is secure, have espoused different, sides—the one supporting Mr, Bernal, the other Major-Gen. Armstrong; and as their in- Mimeo is pretty well balanced, the struggle may he protracted and severe. it is odd to see parties who have hitherto avoided any political intercourse with each other, now coalescing for the italic of proving the relative influence of the simportera of the Ministerial , party—brothers-in-law, whom the Hines designate des Gens parvenue. BRIDGEWATER...4I/NT II The hustings began to be erected this afternoon in front of the neW, handsome, but only 'partially finished market-place, prepa ratory to the nomination for the county to-morrow (Wednesday.) Planks are laid upon beer and cider barrels. An immense assem blage iitexpected. The old Members, Sir T.

(Applause.) The usual electioneering joke, were played off by the crowd hi the hall during the day, and hand-bills of all kinds were circulated by the retipeetive pa r ti es to st i mulate the i r f r i en d s t o renewed exer tions. In one of the pl acards the case i n po i n t was put so as to he plainly intelligible t o t h e simplest understanding-.-viz., " You w h o vote for Monck and P a l mer .vote a t fri t i ; t d ' . y vu . po u t il! , o foraiii:dgi'.vote for having strong beer at 4d. a ng from Wakefield and Spence, vote for of this li quor apparentlyconSUmed b the crowd in the streets, this i s rea ll y y t h e quantity a point of great imp or t ance to th e expenditure of th e peop l e., mid will no doub t h e duly weighed d ur i ng the moments of r reflection.

Every thing gives unquestionable indication that the Ninthiiiii beriand Election, which commences this day week, will be one of the most tremendous contests that ever occurred in the whole history of Great Britain. Various are the concurring causes which conspire to produce this impression. An eminent writer affirms it to be almost as criminal to hear a worthy man tra duced, as to be the author of the calumny against him. To some such general feeling as this, it is, undoubtedly, in consequence of the ill-natured tirades of Mr. Lamhtnn upon Mr. Beaumant, that • the columns of this day's Newcastle Paper teem with philippics and hostile attacks upon the former gentleman. One writer, after commenting upon the extreme unfairness of the Howick party al ways harping upon Mr. Beaumont's private affairs, which, as he justly Observes, have as little to do with the county of Northum berland, as Mr. Lambton's private quarrels have with the county of Durham, forcibly remarks..—" The county (of Northumber land) sees the folly and the vile spirit of the cause, which can rake up private animosities in aid of pretended patriotism ; and there is but one feeling of indignation, that any party, possessing liberality, and supposed to be possessed of common sense, could believe that the county was to be hoodwinked and played with like an infant or an idiot, 'es they have shown by their practice that they believed." And the same writer very significantly adds—" Has Mr. Lambton had no private quarrels? Has he bad no correspondence upon delicate subjects? And would he not think it base and infamous in any perion to drag these subjects again before the public to gratify private malice, or to serve the purposes of an election ?"—'-.Another writer, addressing himself to Lord Grey (his Lordship, it should be stated, delivered a long harangue to the freeholders at Alnwick lately), observes—" I can not but approve of the nature of the advice you have given to your son. But is this display of parental authority, right as it is in itself, quite in the right place and time? We should have ex, pected that the presumptive representative of a,great county, a legislator in the British Senate, shindd have had other qualities than a facility to be governed—should have been manumitted at donatus jam rude,' and no longer liable to be schooled by parent or pedant in the presence of his constituents, whose in telligence, interests, and privileges, he was ambitious to personate." If a Peer of the realm will venture upon an invasion of our poli tical Constitution, he must abide by the consequences. The county is roused ; Mr. Beaumont has public feeling in his favour, and cannot be put down,• let his enemies carry their refinement of political chemistry to the utmost possible extent. Whilst the penis in my hand, I have received an express from Morpeth, where the County Meeting was held this afternoon. Instead of the Whig• party having made play there, as they vainly imagined they would, it seems that Mr. Beaumont, and the Hon. Mr. Liddell, were decidedly the most popular candidates, both by the show of hands at the hustings, and by the general acclamation of the multitude. Mr. Beaumont was nominated by Joseph Lamb, Eeq., of Lehunington-Hall, and seconded by Thomas Reed Batson, Esq., of Higham Dykes. John Clennell, Esq., of Mir bottle Castle, nominated the Hon. W. T. Liddell, and was se conded by William Clarke, Esq., of Belford. Matthew Bell, Esq. wits put in nomination by Sir Charles Loraine, Bart., and seconded by Dixon Dixon, Esq. ; and my Lord Howick was-no minated by Sir Matthew White Ridley, Bart. M.P., and se conded by William Ord, Eeq., of Whitfield. The almost imme diate departure of the post constrains me to a condeltsed statement of the proceedings at Morpeth. —Neweastleupon-Tyne, 13th June. LIVERPOOL—TursnAv EVENING. Our worthy, and I may say, beloved representative, Mr. Hos •kiralon, was chaired to-day, and nothing could exceed the splendour and magnitude of the procession, nor the enthusiasm of his friends, for the un-removed delusion that some of the working classes un fortunately labour under has excited more than a common interest in his behalf ; it has caused a. general feeling of affectionate regard and sympathy for hint in the wrong he has suffered in the estima tion of some of the working classA; and moth pains appears tit have been taken to impress upon their minds that he is not the poor man's friend, and some of them maintain that it was his with in the measures in the I louse to limit them to a small. pittance of wages per week. Now, it is really cruel to poison the minds of these own, and to till them with hatred against a person who has stood forward as their peculiar friend ; for when rslr. flume brought before the House his, motion respecting the Combination Laws, ulr. littskissm4 with that philanthropy and honesty which so eminently distinguish him, declared 'that the Combination Laws gave advantages to the master over the men, which was not consistent with the true spirit of the British Constitution. A Committee was appointed, and of which he was a Member,-and laboured hard Jim the very class . who have now suffered themselves to be deluded by designing men ; who have artfully kept alive the impression these men bad received from corrupt sources, insiduously • circulated amongst them. His chairing, however, passed off without the least inter ruption, and it may be estimated that there was in his train, and opposite Mr. Bolton's, from ten to fifteen thousand persons, and they consisted of a large portion of penams of the first respecta- The General was pretty well. attended in his route of chairing. • Mr. fit/mosso), addressed his friends at great length from the balcony of Mr. Bolton's, which address was received' with rap. tnrous applause. YORK—TursnAy. Yesterday blue was the prevailing colour; to-day it is the uni versal colour, and it requires no artificial index to discover it— every face looks blue. What a disaster ! Last night the city was full of hope and drunkenness—_this morning it was full of despair and sobriety. Mr. Bethel notified his intention of retiring fron► the contest at 11 last night—still it would not be believed. He was far the most popular candidate, fur the best speaker, and evi &tidy a man that Possessed a considerable share of talent. With such a character to cenfirm the hope of success, he had far the largest show of kends yesterday,—nearly all the Milton party supported him, and a great part of the Blues.— When the rumour was first spread, I heard bets of five to one, ten 'to one offered, that Bethel had not resigned.— However, this morning put at rest all doubt. My landlady, who treated such a rumour with contempt last night, was the first this morning to communicate the intelligence to me. Her rueful coun tenance and dejected air bespoke her unmeasured disappointment. San had six beds, all of which were engaged by one of the Com inittees at half a guinea a night; during the fifteen days of polling, one of which she gave me last night at the Mlle price, as a great cmnpliment, being an old customer. This, she said, she lost, or, what she considered the same, she did not gain forty-five guineas, and all on account of that chicken-hearted, shabby fellow, Bethel, who would not spend his money. Some estimate of the change may he formed, when I state, that I only pay, 28. (id. for the bed to-night, for which I paid 10s. 6d. last night. The to wn was so crowded last night, that many of the freeholders slept in stables, but most of them were unconscious of the place in which they lay. -Such a disgusting scene of drunkenness I have never witnessed. I am sure there were few of the 80,000 persons assembled in the Cantle-yrrd yesterday who went to bed sober. Every hotel, tavern, ,and public-house, both in the city and neighbourhood, were filled with persons drinking. wine. Nothing hut wine would ke drank. The credence of such a con test in so large a county, where there were so many freeholders, and at so great a distance. 'Mot be dreadful. Mr. Bethel, though possessing an affluent fortune, it is said from 12 to 16,000/. a. year, does not possess that aristocratic fortune, which could suffer a large diminution, and still leave its possessor in affluence. Such are the reason'', as far as I could learn, of his resignation. All the other candidates arc men of immense fortunes. Mr. Mar. shall, Mr. Wilson, and Mr. Duncombe, it is said, are each worth 100,0001. a year—fortimes ample enough to admit a huge curtailment : and the Fitxwilliam property is known to he one of the largest of the aristocracy. Mr. Marshall appeared to be the most unpopular of the candidates. The landed interest have a bigotted prejud►ce towards commercial men who o f these times, but to Mr. Roe aspire to distinction. They admire their intelligence, their skill, their enterprise, because the exercise of these contribute to their parent of the science of own wealth ;. but the moment ambition spurs them to aim at the dignity of equality, they would affect to despise them.

Mr. Dun combs is a young man about SO, and though he had been in the last Parliament, was as unknown to the public as if it were the first time he appeared on a hustings, having preserved a modest Parliamentary silence during the long term of seven years. Of Lord Milton it would be unnecessary to say any thing.- He is so long before the public, his character and principles are well known: By the resignation of Mr. Bethel!, these candidates have saved 50,0001. each. The expellee of yesterday, though only the nomination day, is estimated at 15,0001. Lord Milton has been most anxious about this election. Before his influence was di yidesl with Mr. S. Wortley, but if the four candidates came in upon distinct interests, it would he diminished by half. He there fore wished to bring in Mr. Marshall to his assistance. and thus preserve his influence unimpaii•ed. CHICHESTER ELECTION. The Election has closed, as we expected,. most triumphantly against Sir Godli•ey Webster and the mob party, by the return 'of Lord George Lennox and Mr. Poyntz. The numbers were as follows Lord G. Lennox W. S. Puyntz Sir. G. Webster 555 411 364 Lady George Lennox and her children were brought into the town in procession, by all Lord George's voters, who met her La dyship at the end of the Pancreas. The chairing has just taken place, and all respectable people are rejoicing at the defeat otthe Radicals. LEOMINSTER,---tuzsDAY. Our election commenced here yesterday morning at eleven o clock. The" preliminary' business completed, the friends of the different candidates put' them in nomination. Lord Hotham was 'first proposed, then ,Mr. Blab, and afterwards Mr. Rowland Stephenson and Mr. Cuthbert. When Mr. Bish was nominated and seconded, Mr. Coleridge objected on the score of Mr. fish's (as .he alleged) ineligibity. The Assemor,-Mr. Powell, was of opinion that the most proper time to offer the objection would be When a poll was demanded. The. names of the several candidates were again put to the electors, and the show of hands being declared for Lord Hotham and Mr.. Stephenson, a poll was demanded on the part of Mr. Nish by Mr. Davis ; and when the first vote was tendered, Mr. Coleridge, • on the part of Mr. Stephenson, repeated his objection. Mr. Davis, with great ability, combatted his argument. The busi ness was then adjourned till this morning at nine o'clock, when the polling commenced with great vigour, and continued till four o'clock, at which time the numbers were— _ Lord Hotham - - 479 IR. Stephenson, Esq. 21 , 2 , Thomas Bib, Esq. 367 F. Cuthbert, Esq. - It is thought that the election will end to-morrow, and no doubt is entertained of the return of Lord 1-lOtham and Mr. Bish. Great preparations •are making for the chairing of the candidates, and crowds are flocking into the town from all parts to witness the ceremony. All is good order, and the fine weather gives a life and pleasure to the scene. CARLISIX-111oxnav Evzrawd. The struggle here has been just put an end to, and.

This ammencement was by 110 means palatable to the multitude, and, accordingly, it was received with the most lively hisses. Sir J.tatEs GRAHAM, in a lengthened aped], returned thank• for the high honour which had been done him, and assured .his constituents, that he felt his responsibility,' as their agent, Po' haneed in proportion as they increased their confidence, by . again returning him.—(l,oud cheers.) -• Sir Pump Mosnitaet; was not present, • and his feelings to wards his constituents are left to be understood.

The chairing of th e successful candidate then took place, and Sir James Graham's welcome to that place of honour left him•• nothing to doubt of its warmth or sincerity. His gratitude was proportionably lively, and what with the Hon. Baronet's comle seension, and the people's good.. humour, they parted the best friends. What, however, tended to make the affair a little ludicrous, WAS., that the mob insisted upou Blaylock's taking the chair after Sir James had left it, and giving him an airing round the town. This, it will be r eco ll ec t e d, was t h e person who Proposed Alr. James, by which he has secured to himself the eternal gratitude of his fellow-citizens. He is a respectable weaver. Mr. Blay lock entered into the frolic with the utmost apparent good-hu mour, and we dare say he is not disheartened from again, when opportunity shall occur, doing all that he can to give thern sn opportunity of making a choice. DUBLlN—Secown na-r—(3lol.lDre.) This morning at an e a rly h our t h e approaches to the Court - House were thronged by persons anxious to obtain admission. At, a few minutes before ten o'clock the doors were opened, when * tremendous rush took place. At a quarter past ten Mr. Grattan' arrived, acoompaiiied by Mr. Archibald Hamilton Rowan, and his brother, Mr. James Grattan. The necessary pro c l ama ti ons h a ying been made, and no other candidate proposed, the High Sheriff declared George Moore and Henry Grattan, Emile, to be elected to represent the County ,of the City of Dublin in Parliament. Th e announcement was received with the most tumultuous applause. Mr. Monis: then rose to address the Electors, but the uproar was so great that he was several minutes on his legs before he could obtain a hearing. Some degree of order, however, being restored, he began as follows: Gentlemen Electors of the City of Dublin_you w ill , ram confident, readily believe me when , I assure you that this is the proudest day of my life.--- (Cheers.).—Gentlemen—lf my election had been secured through the medium of interest, I should have found w - wils enough to thank you ; but when I recollect that I owe my return to the principle of Protestant Ascendancy, I own feel incompetent to thank you.--(Cheers and confusion which lasted for several minutes.) Mr. GRATTAN-, at the sound of Protestant Ascendancy, rushed forward to address the Electors. In vain the High Sher iff assured him that he should he heard after Mr: Moore had can" eluded. He still persisted in interrupting him, and at (virus having by the advice of his friends eat down, Mr. Moore pre'" cerded— Gentlemen, th e on l y mode I can assume to thank my 'pincer* friends for th e un p ara ll e l e d success with which I have bes et crowned, is to att r ib ute t h e support they have afforded me to 19 true cause, the p r i nc i p l es w hi ch I advocate.

Yesterday an extraordinary meeting of the Town Council was held for th e purpose of electing a representative to Parliament for this city. The precept of the Sheriff ordering the ejection, the summon s by th e Provost to the mem b ers of the Council to attend and ale rt. and the Act of Parliament against bribery, &c. were read. Mr. C.
